Well, this is definitely tobacco for grownups! This is a serious, dark, strong, spicy, smokey, cigar flavoured blend.
I always find shag hard to pack - getting the balance between constant relights and burning too hot. However, when I get it right I find this is a pleasant, if strong, flavourful smoke. But after 15 mins or so the cigar elements come much more to the fore and it becomes a bit one-dimensional. It also tends to get a little harsh around this point and I cease to enjoy it. There is quite a lot of nic in this blend so maybe 20 minutes is enough anyway!
Even when dried this tends to leave a little dottle and dampness at the bottom of the bowl and the room note is very full and tends to linger.
All in all, every time I smoke No.7 I enjoy it initially but the experience is short-lived. So I will finish the pack but I can't imagine I will purchase any more in the future. I'm now trying to work out what tobacco requires a bit of body and flavour that I can blend this with.
